Thank you sire may I have another?

[msnimje]

Now if that little gopher Nasrallah will just pop his head out the hole in which he is hiding in the next 36 hours.

[traditional1]

Thanks? This Olmert character must be lame-duck...maybe when the Israeli's meet on Sunday, they'll s$#t-can the fool.

[Agent Smith]

Olmert makes Bush look like Churchill.

[Mr. Mojo]

Thank you sire may I have another?

"Assume the position."

[Blackyce]

sire=sir, but it actually might be more correct the first way.

[mark3681]

Been listening to the scuttlebutt all day. This was predicted, that Olmert would bend over and grab his ankles.
I can't imagine a "No Confidence Vote" is too far off.
GO BIBI!

[dingoMcgill]

And when it fails it will all be Pres. Bush fault.

[operation clinton cleanup]

Peace? Not yet!

...calls for putting 30,000 Lebanese and U.N. troops along the Israel-Lebanon border, where Hezbollah militants have been fighting against Israel.

The UN has no troops, as the AP well knows. They have only what other countries deign to give them. So who will these troops be? Who will be insane enough to put troops in a country to be the buffer between Israel and a terrorist group sworn to destroy her?

I know France is in. Presumably Lebanese troops will join them. How much of a difference their is between Hezbollah and the Lebanese Army I don't know. Any other countries going in?

[Zack Nguyen]

Let's try that again...

[adorno]

A UN resolution.

A cease fire.

A war halted...

. . . to be continued....

[Founding Father]

Traitor Olmeert:"Thank you President Bush."
Betrayer Bush: "You're welcome."

Muslims: "Dumbasses."

[prairiebreeze]

Rice predicted that both governments would accept the agreement.

That's nice. I'm sure Hezbollah will earnestly accept and abide by all conditions and restraints placed on them.

/extreme sarcasm

[DaveMSmith]

Israel was in a no win situation with its military. Destroying and occupying Lebanon should have never been an option. Her people were trying to oust Syria and embrace democracy.

I pray all these predictions for the end of the 'world' are true for August 22, then the Prince of Peace can resolve this mess.

[oyez]

As the president has pointed out, diplomacy can be a little bit messy and unpredictable."

It isn't rocket science to figure what this agreement is worth and what is going to happen next.

Any Southerner knows the only effective way to exterminate a fire ant bed.

[karnage]

I never thought I'd see the day when a bunch of ragtag Mickey the Mopes like the Hezbos would beat Israel.

Very sad.

[kalee]

Does anyone know what this means for the kidnapped soldiers? Does Israel get them back?

[tobyhill]

Olmert shouldn't be thanking President Bush, he should be apologizing. Bush played interference as long as he could in order to allow Olmert time to get the job done but Olmert just stalled on using the forces needed and now the battle will have to be won on some other day but it won't be with Olmert.

[VeniVidiVici]

But Israel has been unable to defeat Hezbollah and was concerned about growing Israeli casualties, as well as international condemnation, if the war continued.

Good to see Nedra perpetuating the falsehood that Israel has been unable to defeat the Hizbos.

Maybe Syria and Iran will do something really stupid.
